Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh lettuce and chicory in the Bahamas showed considerable volatility from 2018 to 2023, primarily driven by fluctuations in import volumes. Domestic production remained stable at approximately 130 t per year, while imports, which constitute the vast majority of the market, varied significantly. This led the total market volume to swing from a low of 2 127 t in 2019 to a peak of 3 443 t in 2022.

A sharp increase in imports propelled market growth to over 3 180 t in 2021, and volume continued to expand to its highest point the following year. The market then contracted in 2023, falling back to 3 054 t as import levels decreased from the previous year's high.
